[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-network 0/7] add dhcp support for all zones

[Stefan Hanreich]

I can see this working with Simple and EVPN zone where the host has an
IP because he is acting as a gateway.

But for VLAN / QinQ / VXLAN the way it is currently implemented is
confusing imo, since we are 'abusing' the gateway field for what is
essentially a bind address for dnsmasq.

There is already 'dhcp-dns-server' which configures the DNS server that
dnsmasq sends. Maybe we could add 'dhcp-default-gateway' as well, so
users can configure a default gateway that dnsmasq should send for those
zones if they have a central external firewall in that VLAN.

And then maybe make the bind address explicit for VLAN / VXLAN / QinQ by
moving it from gateway to 'dhcp-bind-address' and document that this
address is then reserved? This would also solve the IPv6 issue, wouldn't it?

Another issue is that the host is sending itself as default gateway and
DNS server in those zones, which we should probably not do (we turn off
forwarding on the interfaces, but it also overwrites resolv.conf, which
can be quite confusing I think). That should be easy to change (I have
it on my machine already).

I have the changes ready on my machine, but I wanted to ask for your
opinion as well, I can also just send them tomorrow and you can review
them if you like.
